As I was looking at getting the 8700K a mate of mine in work said he was selling his as he moved up to an i9 7980XE, Gave me a workmate discount so paid £200 for it, Quite a good clocker too, 5GHz game and bench stable at 1.29 volts.
Also bought the Asus ROG Maximus X Formula board to drop it into

You must earn more money than me with the spending you do :O
£130 the lot man.
I've not spent a single penny in over two weeks. That's why I got so much.
Yeah because you said you were broke buying the frame 2 weeks ago. Also headphones for £450 or so recently too?
Jesus, my bank account would be empty if I kept that up. Small costs all add up over time
edit* love the green colour above. Awesome choice. My bike and downhill gear are the same !
The headphones were a rare purchase tbh. I bought those with cash I made from selling my RC cars. So that was why I was able to buy such a high priced item. Still, at £450? it was worth it. That is half of the RRP and they are mind bendingly good. I have not found a single type of music they don't do absolutely brilliantly. A first !
I guess it seems that I spend money a lot. Thing is, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke (vaping is about my only vice, and that is very cheap) and I don't go out. So every purchase I make is always online.
Once summer comes I stop spending and just enjoy everything tbh.
Yeah the flouro is awesome. I was going to keep it all blue and purple but I had those 4 pegs lying around for years. I got them for £4.99 each. Not bad when you consider they were £35 each at retail new. Very high end pegs..
The fork was the decider though. I got those for £35 inc, brand spanking new taken from a brand new bike.

So yeah, very happy with that. Plus I wouldn't dare throw neon parts on any of my other bikes hahaha.
Ooo those are lovely !! I got as far as about £60. That was the most I have ever spent on pedals. I was going to get Hope pedals but decided on the ones I got instead. Did you have to do all of the pins yourself? that took me ages, especially as I realised there were two different lengths all together lol. And I ended up bleeding too![]()
Yeah and use trial and error since you can adjust the height on both sides of the pedal. Centre point can be adjust also for those people who want stiff pedals while getting big air to find your feet again.
